Minister's Decision - Scheme Amendment No 4 Fast Food Outlets (Land Use Permissibility)

The City wishes to advise that the Western Australian Planning Commission considered proposed Scheme Amendment No. 4 and submitted its recommendation to the Minister in accordance with section 87(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2005 (the Act).

The Minister has resolved to refuse the amendment in accordance with section 87(2)(c) of the Act for the following reasons:

1. The amendment is broadly inconsistent with the intent and objectives of the State planning framework; and

2. The amendment is structurally flawed, proposing inconsistencies between the Zoning Table and the Scheme text under Local Planning Scheme No. 3.

In light of the Minister’s decision, no changes will be made to Local Planning Scheme No. 3 in relation to proposed Scheme Amendment No. 4.
